are ghosts involved? are delusions involved? is the devil involved? were the non-human characters at one time human? were they waiting for something? someone? are other rooms in the uilding relevant? are there any relevant items in the room? does ben have a more invokved role in the puzzle than the other non-humans? is it a video game? some kind of virtual reality?

Hi to all! First post, first try: Jim and Ben are playing head-up Hold'Em; the other two "man" involved are two king (royalties) on the board. Jim has got two Aces in the hole, while Ben has got another K. Ben "slowplays" (shows weakness on a strong hand to confuse an opponent) his hand and checks(tapping his finger on the table),and on the 4th or 5th street another K comes, giving Jim the top full house. He doesn't suspect that Ben just made a poker, so he goes all-in and eventually lost everything.

are ghosts involved? noare delusions involved? nois the devil involved? nowere the non-human characters at one time human? nowere they waiting for something? b{yes} someone? yopeare other rooms in the uilding relevant? noare there any relevant items in the room? yesdoes ben have a more invokved role in the puzzle than the other non-humans? ben is human, and he is more involved than the non-humansis it a video game?no some kind of virtual reality?no

ok, here's what I'm guessing, so hopefully I'm not completely off the mark!

were they playing blackjack (also called 21)?no

did Ben tap the table in the blackjack game where tapping means "hit me" (give me another card)? nowas Jim a blackjack dealer? regular player? was Ben a blackjack dealer? regular player? no to alldid Jim think that Ben had gone over by the card that was played?no I've only played a handful of times, so I'm not sure of all the "ins and outs" of the game...

Soundds like a texas holdem situation to me?yes indeed!

For once I predicted a quickie and a quickie it was!

And wish me luck, 'cause I'm playing hold'em tonight!
